Re: National characters and UTL_FILE

[Yechiel Adar]

Hello Vladimir
 
I think that you need to take a look at the file before 
and after applying "unix2dos". Since you work with CE characters, maybe the 
conversion program can not handle this.
 
BTW - in Oracle 9.2 you can use utl_file to write Unicode 
to the file. Maybe this will help you.

  Subject: National characters and 
  UTL_FILE
  
  Hello to everyone
   
  I want to write national characters 
  (Central European) to ASCII file, by using 
utl_file.
   
  UTL_FILE is called within unix script, 
  and afterwards ascii file (after applying "unix2dos") is sent as an attachment 
  (by using "uuenview"). Both NLS_CHARACTERSET (EE8ISO8859P2) parameters are 
  same within script (env.variable) and database. 
   
  But, instead of those specific letters 
  I receive mail with useless content. I have then tried binary ftp of ASCII 
  file, but to no avail.
   
  I'm entering and reading those 
  characters trough Forms with no problem at all.
   
  So, is it possible to write CE 
  characters (DOS extended character set actually) into ascii 
  file?
   
  Regional settings at Windows client 
  (where mail or ftp are received) are appropriate (meaning, they are not set as 
  USA...)...

Vladimir,

Have you had any opportunity to look at the file immediately after it is
produced from Oracle on the server (before being attached to the mail) -
this might eliminate "uuenview"?

Can you display the special characters using dbms_output.put_line?  If the
problem is isolated to utl_file then perhaps you can consider spooling a
statement to a file from SQL*Plus - In the past I have found this to give
better performance anyway, although if you have a lot of complex logic you
might need to create a temporary table with the results and then spool that
table.

hth,

Mark.
